Al Jazeera journalist Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Gaza, says there is no denying that Israel's military campaign is a genocide. Without urgent international action, "we are on our way to annihilation," Mahmoud says.

In the budget reconciliation bill, House Republicans are trying to cut SNAP by $295 billion. This would cut it in third in what would be by far the largest SNAP cut in history.
This would rip food assistance away from millions of people, including households with children as young as 7 years old.
